"Rock n' Not Loud Adventures."
"Chapter 504: Amanda's Dream: Start of her heroism."

(Lewis Residence. Franklin Avenue.)

The sound of an alarm is heard and Amanda Bright wakes up and she sees it's not her alarm. It's from her cell phone and so she sleepily answers it. "Hello?"

Ms. Hiller. "Amanda, this is your boss from the Royal Woods Gazette. The news is in and the pressed done and now everyone knows what happened last night and only a matter of time before the news brings it out on TV, well it would be if they had actual footage which they don't and we have all of the photos."

"That organization is done for and I got word from a source that they have been rooted out and are being removed for what they did to the forest in Royal Woods and all the stuff they have done. Amanda, you have helped make the Gazette top one once again and I cannot wait for us to win the Presses Award for the fifth time!"

Amanda sighs and is still sleepy. "Y-Yeah… *yawn* yeah sure. Okay, Ms. Hiller. Anything else?"

Ms. Hiller. "We did as we always do and nobody knows who took the photos that night and that means you're safe and sound. You've done the right thing in taking down this group Amanda. Also, those guard dogs you brought in are pretty nice and I am keeping one as my pet because he is adorable and I will call him, Jameson. Amanda, you have earned yourself three days off from work for this great success!"

Amanda sleepily replies. "Yeah sure. Bye, Ms. Hiller. Thank you." She then hangs up, places the cell phone on the desk and she falls back to sleep.

She didn't even know Michelle Lewis is in the room when she heard her talk and she has her infant son Lincoln in her arms. She smiles seeing Amanda sleeping. "I think she deserves some much needed sleep. She did come home late last night and she needs this. I am happy she's back and fine."

Michelle then looks to her baby. Lincoln then looks to Michelle and he points to Amanda, but she kisses his cheek. "Not the time, Linky. Let's give her some rest. We can handle everything else today."

Michelle leaves the bedroom with her son, to go and get everything else ready for the day and bring Leni and Luna to school, the pug puppies notice this and they follow as well. Leaving Amanda Bright alone in the bedroom to get some more sleep.

But unknown to them, something is slowly making light in her sling bag.

(Later.)

Amanda Bright is now awake and she comes down the stairs and yawns. She then checks the clock and it is around 9:22 am. 'Huh, I guess I did sleep in today. I am glad Michelle and the girls… Wait, where are they?'

Michelle then heads to the dining room and she didn't even notice the pug puppies playing by themselves in the living room. Amanda goes to the kitchen and she sees some food covered by a metal dish cover and a note and so she reads it.

*Amanda, we decided to let you sleep in today since you had hard work last night and we're glad you're back and alright. I took care of everything so don't worry about it. Also, I am taking Lincoln with me to go to my work and then we're both going to the grocery store, if you're planning to go there as well then please notify me – Love, your Family the Lewis'*

Amanda is touched reading this and so she opens the metal cover, so she makes her coffee and enjoys her still warm breakfast and it made sense that Michelle got her hands on some new kitchen stuff that can help keep the warmth of food a little longer.

Amanda then sees the pug puppies race by the kitchen and they head to the backyard and this makes her chuckle and she continues to eat her food and drink her coffee. Amanda then recalls what she did last night.

'That was kinda intense and everything seemed so fast and that alien ship thing… I hope that ship was dealt with. I am glad I helped free those guard dogs and bring them to a new home and…' then she realizes, the item she took and forgot within her sling bag.

Amanda finishes eating her breakfast and then she races back upstairs and she opens the bedroom door and sees her sling bag on the chair nearby and she sees nothing is happening. Amanda takes in some courage. 'Alright, calm down. Whatever happened last night, might have been some form of gas making me hear things and…'

Then she hears this mechanical energy sound and then the bag glows and a voice is trying to speak but then it changes into a more feminine kind if voice. "Greetings Host: Amanda Bright. You are now awake and refueled. We have been detecting the life forms from within this house which you call your family and they are all fine. No intrusions have occurred while you were resting."

Amanda is wide eyed and surprised. "Oh sweet Gravy and Corn Syrup. What the heck? Wait, so last night…."

"Was no cause of anything within the mind which you may believe was an illusion and we are ready for any further instructions."

Amanda goes to her bag. She opens it and sees the metallic artifact with the diamond in the middle. "I remember that you are known as the Lightbearer and why those people tried to hack you or something... But what the heck do you do?"

"The Lightbearer was designed by a highly advanced Alien race whose species became lost to the stars eons ago. I am one of many protosuit forms which act as some way for the user to be enhanced and adapt to any situation on whatever world they are exploring."

Amanda is surprised and she realizes this. "Whoa. So, the alien race that had you are explorers and chances they landed on earth long ago and didn't make it. Were you on the ship the people last night were trying to experiment on?"

"Indeed. They cleared out all technological weapons and gadgets and stored them away. They detected the energy of the Lightbearer and attempted to harness, but the Lightbearer has emergency protocols within to ensure that the Lightbearer design and energy will not fall into the wrong hands."

Amanda then asks. "So, what was the species that you to that went extinct?"

The Lightbearer remains silent and then speaks. "Per protocols from my creators I am not given permission to entrust any more further information of the race I have originated from. I apologize if that doesn't answer your question."

Amanda smirks and nods. "All good here and I totally understand." She then recalls what the Lightbearer said earlier and now she is feeling very curious. "You said that you're a protosuit right? How does that work?"

The Lightbearer glows and speaks. "Please establish emplacement of Lightbearer above chest of host."

Amanda is surprised to hear this and so she places the Lightbearer above her chest. Just then it glows and soon enough Amanda is now engulfed by a ring of energy which slowly lifts her into the air and a strong surge of power is now coursing throughout every fiber of her being and then she's slowly placed back onto the ground.

Amanda is confused and sees her hands making some light energy. "Uh, Lightbearer… What the heck did you do to me?"

"Energy scan complete. Symbiotic attunement complete. Host body enhancements complete. Commencing protosuit manifestation."

Amanda is confused. "Wait a tick, what was that?"

Before Amanda realizes it, a bring ring of light manifests at her feet and it slowly makes it's way up to her body. As it continues, Amanda feels her clothing (Pajamas) dematerialize and is now replaced by something more form fitting, she can even feel something solid encased around her cheeks and she closes her eyes.

The energy ring then disappears when it reaches the top of her hair and she can still feel her ponytail is still there. Amanda opens her eyes and sees what has happened to her. "What the Ace Savvy?!" Amanda sees that she is now wearing something else.

Now clad in a form fitting metallic dark green body suit with dark gold trimming along the edges, five diamonds are on the suit; one on her arms elbows and knees and the main one above her chest. She is also wearing this helmet that allows her ponytail to still appear from the back and a glass facial visor for her to see.

Amanda can hear some energy emanating from the suit and she takes a good look at herself. "Holy Cow. I look like something from those 90's superhero shows I watched. Also, I made this kinda look good." She is impressed at how this suit fits her even at her rear.

Then the suit speaks into her helmet. "The Protosuit, a powerful specially outfitted enhancement suit capable of ensuring the survival of the host/bearer to adapt to any situation. Has many forms of capabilities to your disposal host; Amanda Bright."

Amanda is shocked to hear this and then she asks. "What kind of capabilities are we talking about here?"

"The Protosuit capabilities are; Enhanced Strength, enhanced speed, enhanced durability, fast recovery and healing, flight, psychic sense, nano-technology systems, and energy manifestation."

Amanda Bright is at a loss for words hearing all of this information. "Wow. That is a lot." She then looks out the window. "So, can the capabilities be activated depending on my thoughts?"

"Precisely. Would you care to try them host; Amanda Bright?"

Amanda smirks and she seems confident. "Dang right I am!" she then runs to the window and then she leaps out. She raises her fist forward and with her will power and mind, she gives the command and the suit deploys energy around her and Amanda Bright is off into the sky.

The Pug puppies are in the backyard and witnessed this. All three of them are confused and shocked and Shawn faints. They don't even know what they just saw, but then know who that was.

With, Amanda. She opens her eyes and she sees clouds passing by her. She should feel kinda scared by this… but then she smiles and she laughs with excitement and she cheers. "Woohoo! This is awesome!" She then flies faster, that she breaks the sound barrier and takes off even higher into the sky.

Amanda then sees that they are getting higher and higher. She then stops and sees where she is now. "No way. No freaking way." She is now above Earth's atmosphere and she can see the sun is not as bright as everyone sees from ground level. She looks around and sees the vast darkness of space around her and the stars making it look like a bedroom painted over.

Amanda looks down and she sees the country she lives in and she can see the other countries neighboring from across the Atlantic ocean. "This is amazing. I'm actually above earth, I don't even think I am in space." She then closes her eyes and she accepts the fall and she heads back down to earth.

Amanda then opens her eyes and she flies down with great speed and even flying by an airplane which nobody even noticed. Amanda then sees Royal Woods and she makes it to the city and is now flying high above and unnoticed by everyone else below. "This is so cool and I can see my work place and my boss too."

Amanda can see Ms. Hiller is playing fetch with the guard dog whom she has kept and it seems like their having fun. Amanda then sees a very familiar car, one that belongs to her girlfriend and in fact it is and she can see that Michelle Lewis is inside and is obviously headed for groceries and this gives Amanda with some concerning thoughts.

'Should I tell them? I mean, it wouldn't hurt to tell the family about what I found and how awesome this is and…' just then her train of thoughts is interrupted when she senses something and she asks. "Wait. Why do I feel something is happening?"

"That would be the psychic sense, Host: Amanda Bright. It will allow you to passively detect any form of danger that is close by and will give you the chance to counter with any of the other capabilities within the Protosuit. The psychic sense can also be triggered without the suit on, as some forms from the Protosuit capabilities are now shared within you as well."

Amanda did not see this coming. "Well, in any case. I sense something is wrong…. We have to go and check it out." Amanda redirects her flight and she goes to a part of Ketcham Park and she sees the trouble. "Oh boy."

Amanda sees, this woman is being surrounded by three men with knives and they want her bag and worse of all, this lady has a baby with her and she recognizes who this woman is and her baby. "Jesse Rosato and her baby Jordan! I have to help them!"

But then she realizes. 'Wait, they might notice me and then it'll be hard to explain…'

"Then allow the Protosuit to encase your identity to others." The Protosuit triggers a black screen. Amanda can see through it, but others cannot see her face inside.

"Awesome and cool! Alright, lets do this!" Amanda flies downward and she slams her fist to the ground sending these crooks away from the mother and her daughter. Jesse Rosato is surprised and she picks up her baby and she tries to comfort her.

The crooks get back up and see the figure in the suit and helmet. "What the heck? Whose this weirdo?"

"Don't care. This idiot thinks to get in the way? Well, let's go boys!" The crooks charge at Amanda with knives, but her instincts kick in and she dodges each of their attacks.

She grabs one of the thieves and throws him to the other and then elbows the leader of the gang and kicks him at the crotch and he goes down, another uses his knife but it breaks upon contact with Amanda's suit. She then head butts the guy and kicks him away.

Amanda ducks and does the splits and she nails a crotch punch to both men who go down in pain, Amanda gets back up and she lands a high kick to the other one who is getting back up. Amanda then grabs the other two men and throws them to the others.

Amanda then sees her fist glowing and she sees the leader of the gang who is getting back up and he's going for a gun in his jacket and Amanda was not gonna let this happen, so she lands one punch to the man's stomach and he is sent flying towards a trash can.

The group of thugs realize that they are in trouble and stand no chance. "Dudes, let's get the heck outta here!" the four other men run off, but only to be tackled by police. Amanda sighs in relief and she turns around and looks to the mother and thankfully her voice is cloaked by the suit, so she sounds different but still you can hear the feminine voice from the helmet.

"Are you and your baby alright Miss?"

Jesse Rosato nods an her baby is surprised and amazed and then Jesse speaks. "Yes, we are. Thank you for saving us. But… who are you? What are you?"

Amanda has some tough choices for a reply, she then sees a poster on the ground and she picks it up and she smiles, it is a torn off page from a magazine and it is about her fave superhero from her childhood Ace Savvy.

Amanda now makes her decision and she answers. "Call me… Lady Ace, and I am a superhero." She then flies off and as she makes it to the sky, she moves at great speed.

Jesse Rosato and her daughter are still amazed and the folks at the Park see this and some have recorded everything. The cops overheard and are trying to figure this out, but they are grateful for the super hero who came and stopped these crooks.

Officer Schoffner smirks. "Looks like that whole science group taken down is not the only odd thing to have come to our town." Her rookie partner also agrees, and his name is Officer Tristen D. Pingrey.

Jesse Rosato knows one thing. 'No dang shadow of a doubt that Michelle Lewis will find this hard to believe and surely Amanda Bright will wanna get the scoop on this one!'

(Back at The Lewis House.)

Amanda flies back into the room and she feels happy at what she did and a form of adrenaline and pride. Amanda looks to herself in the mirror and she smiles, then the Lightbearer speaks.

"You're heart pressure seems to be spiking and you are coming to a sense of thought from what you have done, host: Amanda Bright. Is there something wrong?"

Amanda smirks and she speaks. "No, nothing wrong. Also, call me Amanda or Ms. Bright and as for my thoughts… I think I can work with this and be…" she recalls her childhood dream. A dream which she thought was nothing more than child's play. "A super hero for Royal Woods, Lady Ace!"

She then removes her helmet and she looks to herself in the mirror and the color of the Protosuit which doesn't seem to speak heroic. "But I think the suit needs a change in color scheme. Can this suit change the patterns and coloring?"

"Indeed, Ms. Bright. The suit can change the color scheme to whatever the user wishes. Also, a vehicle has arrived to the house, Michelle Lewis and her adored infant child Lincoln have returned."

Amanda is surprised to hear this, and then her suit slowly changes back to her pajamas and she is impressed. "Whoa, cool! So I can change it back to…. Wait, was I still wearing my pajamas the entire time?"

"Yes. Yes you were."

Amanda sighs and she goes to the closet to pick out what to wear, she did put the Lightbearer back into her sling bag and something else comes to her thoughts. 'Should I tell them the truth? Should they know that I have become a super hero?'

Amanda then picks out the clothes she'll be wearing and she turns around and sees the Pug puppies Shawn, Stewart and Sarah. They were there the entire time and then Amanda speaks. "You three saw nothing." The pug puppies are confused and tilt their heads.

(Reality Break!)

Amanda wakes up and is surprised by the dream, and she sighs in relief, but then she smiles. 'Wow, now that sure was one heck of a dream…' But then she sees Michelle is not with her, and she gets up and is about to head out, but then she sees Michelle come into the bedroom. "What are you doing up, Michelle?"

Michelle goes over and kisses Amanda on the cheek. "Just went to check on Linc and Lunes, they're alright and fine and sleeping in their own rooms. We're slowly doing well, and thanks for being here, to help us babe."

Amanda nods, and she smiles. "Anytime, also did you see the same dream that I have?"

Michelle smirks and nods. "Amanda, I am possibly not the only one. Linc and Lunes, they have seen the dreams I have been having, and it looks like you are now seeing dreams too. Now, I don't know why we keep seeing them, but chances we'll get answers from that guardian."

Amanda nods, and deep down she is excited. 'I can't wait to see more of those dreams and what will go down next time.

Amanda and Michelle then return to bed, not knowing that the guardian is at the backyard, and he finishes channeling his spell. 'Trust me, the answers you seek will be complicated, and only through the eyes of those within the dream walking will answer all you ask.' He then turns into a raven and he flies off.

A/N: It looks like it's finally happened, Amanda Bright had now chosen a new path as a super hero, but she has a long way to go to prove what she is truly capable of and keeping the folks of Royal Woods safe, even the ones whom she sees as her family and to also ensure they don't find out. I hope you enjoyed reading this new chapter everyone.
